You betcha. On the left is a Postal beehive CD 145 in an unlisted smoky peach color. Found this at the 2006 Chico Show on the table of a Southern California bottle dealer. On the right is its California counterpart in the same color. Note that the Postal has a lot of base grinding, which is also very characteristic of California glass. Here is a nice comparison of California & Postal colors put together by Bill Ostrander [id=27099919]
